Simply put, some people were born to play football.
When Henrikh Mkhitaryan opened his goalscoring account for Manchester United with a superb solo effort against Zorya Luhansk and followed it up with the winner against Tottenham, it quickly confirmed our midfield Armenian’s place in that category.
It was a moment to behold, as the 27-year-old picked up the ball inside the centre circle, going on a mazy run and nutmegging a defender, before producing a fine finish to set the tone for the 2-0 victory. Back in the country where he spent four years of his playing career, and on the ground where he scored his first hat-trick for Shakhtar Donetsk in 2012, you might even say it was written in the stars.
